The German industrial production price index registered an annual rise of 28.2% in November, which represents the second consecutive slowdown in the rate of increase after the increase of 34.5% in October and 45.8% in September, according to data published by Destatis, the country's federal statistical office.

Likewise, in comparison with the month of October, the prices of industrial production registered a fall of 3.9%, the second consecutive one after becoming cheaper by 4.2% in October.
